Al Ain Oasis, UNESCO World Heritage oasis in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.
The oasis encompasses 1,200 hectares with 147,000 date palm trees and over 100 different varieties of dates across multiple plantations.
The ancient falaj irrigation system within the oasis has operated continuously for over 3,000 years, channeling water from the Hajar Mountains.
Individual farming plots are divided by traditional boundary walls, reflecting agricultural practices that date back to early Bedouin settlements.
The site offers free entry, bicycle rentals, and electric buggy services for visitors to explore the extensive network of shaded pathways.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation recognizes this location as a vital repository of genetic resources and agricultural biodiversity.
